- To install the client tools we'll need to log into our rhhost1 VM and open a terminal. I'm going to install the bind-utils package. It may already be installed but we'll wanna make sure. In a terminal type in sudo yum install -y bind-utils and hit enter. Type in your password if prompted. Let's take a look at what's inside the bind-utils package. Type in clear and then type in rpm -ql bind-utils and hit enter. We can see that we have a few commands including dig, host, nslookup, and nsupdate. This'll be perfect for this chapter. Now let's log into rhhost2 and do the same. In a terminal type in sudo yum install -y bind-utils and hit enter and type in your password if prompted.
